D                                        G
There's a little mountain church in my thoughts of yesterday,
        D                                  A
Where friends and family gathered for the Lord,
           D                                   G
There an old fashioned preacher taught the straight and narrow way,
                D              A             D
For what few coins the congregation could afford,
                                           G
Dressed in all our Sunday best, we sat on pews of solid oak,
         D                               A
And I remember how our voices filled the air,
          D                              G
How mama sounded like an angel on those high soprano notes,
              D                 A               D
And when the roll is called up yonder, I'll be there.

[Chorus]
                                          G
Looking back now, that little mountain church house,
        D                      A
Has become my life's corner stone,
        D                              G
It was there in that little mountain church house,
          D                    A            D
I first heard the word I've based my life upon.

[Verse]
D                                   G
At the all day Sunday singing, and dinner on the ground,
D                                 A
Many were the souls that were revived,
           D                                   G
While my brothers and my sisters, who've gone on to glory land,
          D           A             D
Slept in peace in the maple grove nearby

[Chorus] x2
                                          G
Looking back now, that little mountain church house,
        D                      A
Has become my life's corner stone,
        D                              G
It was there in that little mountain church house,
          D                    A            D
I first heard the word I've based my life upon.
